at over 5 million degrees celsius the temperature of the sun core is high enough for nuclear to occur

Biology

Paraphin [41]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Yes (but not how you think)

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you mean if nuclear fusion, where two atoms (in this case mostly hydrogen) fuse into one heavier atom, and release a lot of energy.

However, fusion happens when there is a tremendous amount of pressure or heat. This is found in the core

The 5 million degrees is found on the surface of the sun, but at the core, it is at 15 million degrees.

In addition, the pressure is so extreme that if forces atoms to become one, despite the fact they don't like being together (try finding 2 strong magnets and hold them so that they try to repel each other and try and make them touch, it's hard! Now imagine having to put a million of times the amount of strength!)

So, the sun is capable of nuclear fusion, but at the core, where it is 15 million degrees!

(fun fact: scientists are trying to build "mini-suns" called Fusion reactors to try and harvest the power of the sun!)

If Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine, what % of
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

option b is correct

Explanation:

if adenine is 20% so thymine is also 20% because equal amount thymine and adenine make a base pair the remaining percentage is 60% which is contributed by cytosine and guanine so cytosine contribute 30% and cytosine also contribute 30%

Which statement correctly describes how oceans in this area provide ideal conditions for rainfall?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: A) Ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The Equator receives the most direct sunlight on Earth. This makes the water near the Equator, and air above the water, typically warmer than surrounding areas. This warm, moist, less-dense air rises, and then cools as it travels through denser, colder layers. This constant cycle of evaporation and condensation creates an abundance of rain.

So, oceans near the Equator provide ideal conditions for rainfall because ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.
